What are the criteria for making a claim?

People with certain illnesses or conditions like repetitive strain injuries may still be eligible for compensation even if the illness was triggered by events some years ago. In such cases, it is the date of diagnosis that matters.

In order to win a Trafford personal injury case, it should be demonstrated that:

The defendant owed you a duty of care

The defendant breached that duty

Your injury or illness was caused by that breach

The lawyer will look at how your injury claim will relate to each of these points.

How to find the right personal injury lawyer

In many cases a compensation claim can take months to agree a settlement and in serious injury cases, claims may run for one or two years. The SRA regulate legal advice given by all solicitors, however they are not responsible for many factors of interest to people considering an injury claim, such as speed or level of service.

Given the impact your lawyer can have on your experience of making a claim, picking an injury lawyer to fit your requirements is an important first step.

Are Trafford claimants restricted to only local law firms?

Claimants are not restricted to local firms and can make a selection based on the success fee a solicitor charges or other service factors.

Usually, the only aspect that does require a local service is the medical exam. This exam provides necessary medical evidence to support your claim, and is carried out in partnership with a member of our national network of medical professionals.

Wherever your solicitor is based, they will arrange for a local medical expert to carry out the exam.

Compensation is limited to costs you have had to bear as a result of the injury and by guidelines set out by the Judicial College. Your solicitor's experience can impact the level of damages negotiated. Get more information about how much you can claim.

Solicitors working on a No Win, No Fee basis generally charge a success fee and for ATE insurance. Deductions from a claimant's compensation for scarring, for example, ranges from ?6,050 to ?18,370 (based on 2015 market data).

You should be aware of how much of your compensation will be taken to cover these fees.
